Google Earth

Wonderous. Lost a whole evening last night exploring Google Earth. Our house is just on the edge on one of the lower res tiles, but the tile that covers the end of our road is so detailed you can make out individual cars and gardens and get a fine view of the church and Moseley Bog. The photo above shows my old office at Birmingham Business Park, and the car arrowed is my old Audi A3 in my parking space.

I spent the evening looking at all sorts of earth sites, from places I've been to to places I'd like to see. From Antartica to Moscow and Tokyo. Rather than post the images on this entry I'll retro-blog the ones I've been to to when I went to them.
